A 51.2 kg sled coasts down a hill, starting from rest. The hill is inclined at an angle of 20.8 degrees with respect to the horizontal and has a height of 7.25 m. The sled's blades have recently been greased so that the sled slides down the hill without friction. What is the final speed of the sled (in m/s) just as it reaches the bottom of the hill? Use g = 9.81 m/s2.
A skier starts at the top of a frictionless slope and pushes off with a speed of 3.0 m/s. The elevation of the slope is 40 m. She skis down the slope to a valley with elevation 0.0 m and then glides to the peak of an adjacent slope that is at an elevation of 25 m. Calculate her speed at the second peak
You set up a ramp as depicted to practice your skateboard skills. The ramp is a wooden board L=8.0 m long and is propped up between the ground level at one end and h=1.3 m at the other end. You approach the ramp from the left (lower ground) at 11 m/s. How fast are you once you get past the ramp (higher ground)? Assume your mass is 105 kg and friction is negligible.
A 6 kg block, initially moving 4 m/s, slides 2.5 m down a ramp that is inclined 20 degrees above horizontal. The coefficient of friction is 0.3. How fast is the block moving after 2.5 m?

A man on a motorcycle plans to make a jump as shown in the figure. If he leaves the ramp with a speed of 32.0 m/s and has a speed of 29.9 m/s at the top of his trajectory, determine his maximum height (h) (in m) above the end of the ramp. Ignore friction and air resistance. ? m
A stone of mass 1.0 kg is dropped from rest at the top of a 100.0 meter high building. Assume there is no air resistance. What is the kinetic energy of the stone just before it strikes the ground? The following numerical values may be helpful in this question. G = 6.67 ∙10-11 N∙m2/ kg2 Earth’s mass = 5.98 · 1024 kilograms g = 9.80 m/sec2 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
Neglecting friction and air resistance, a car with an initial velocity of 43.1 km/h coasts up a hill and comes to stop at the hill's top. What must be the height of the hill (in meters)? Hint: you do not need the car's mass to solve this problem, but if interested to solve the problem using kinetic and potential energies you can use a mass of 2000kg for the car.
The drawing shows two boxes resting on frictionless ramps. One box is relatively light and sits on a steep ramp. The other box is heavier and rests on a ramp that is less steep. The boxes are released from rest at A and allowed to slide down the ramps. The two boxes have masses of 14 and 49 kg. If A and B are 6.5 and 1.5 m, respectively, above the ground, determine the speed of (a) the lighter box and (b) the heavier box when each reaches B. (c) What is the ratio of the kinetic energy of the heavier box to that of the lighter box at B?
